The road to finding your best, healthiest, most productive self is long and often daunting. Trust me, I’ve been wandering that road for a while now and I’ve taken a few wrong turns along the way. Luckily, there are a whole host of self-improvement Youtube channels out there to help keep you motivated and inspired. Here are some of the best self-improvement Youtubers to subscribe to:
The Financial Diet
Adulting is hard, especially when it comes to managing your finances. The Financial Diet is a funny, down-to-earth guide to managing your money and making good financial decisions. Their videos are easy to understand and, even more importantly, their tips are easy to implement. If you’re stressed about your student debt, trying to stash aside some savings or stumped about how to start budgeting, this is the Youtube channel for you.
Kalyn Nicholson
I’m sure I’m not the only one who wishes they were the kind of person who gets at at 6am, drinks a kale smoothie, does yoga and then starts a kick-ass productive day complete with running a successful business and time for meditation. Kalyn Nicholson seems to juggle all these things effortlessly, making her an inspiration for the rest of us mere mortals.
With videos that range from productivity tips and tricks, self-help book reviews and awe-inspiring travel vlogs, Kalyn’s channel is motivational must-watch for anyone looking to overhaul their day to day way of living.
PsycheTruth
PsycheTruth offers a range of videos that cover all aspects of health and wellbeing. You want Yoga? They’ve got it! You want expert nutritional advice? They’ve got it! You want videos about massage, reflexology and meditation. Yeah, they’ve got it! If you’re looking to make changes to your diet or incorporate more exercise or mindfulness into your daily life then this channel should be your first port of call.
Messy Minimalist
If your self-improvement journey involves decluttering (which it definitely should), then the Messy Minimalist’s videos might be the inspiration you’re looking for. Her methods might be a little unorthodox, but she’s documented her own ‘minimalism’ journey and it’s very motivating for those just getting started. If she can do it, anyone can!
Yoga with Adriene
Yoga is excellent for the body as well as the mind, but getting started can feel a little intimidating, especially when you see pictures of people folding themselves into pretzels on your Instagram feed. On her Youtube channel, Adriene offers an abundance of easy to follow Yoga practices that even complete beginners can follow along with. Her bubbly personality and insistence that you always make the practice your own sets her apart from other instructors and will always leave you coming back for more.
Amy Ladino
If you’re looking for girl boss hacks, this is the channel for you! With everything from time management and productivity tips, inspiration for women trying to start an online business and life-changing book reviews, Amy’s channel is perfect for people who want to be successful…but have no idea where to start. Her dry humour and honesty add fun edge to her videos and make what could be a pretty dull topic come to life.
TEDx Talks
What list of self improvement Youtube channels would be complete without mentioning Ted Talks? TEDx is an international community that organises smaller, more local TED-style events all over the world. You’d be hard pressed to find a topic that hasn’t been covered by the huge array of speakers and it’s my go-to if I’m in need of advice about my never-ending quarter life crisis.
Yes, getting your life together might seem like a huge mountain to climb sometimes. But with a little help from these self-improvement Youtube channels (and a lot of self belief), you’ll be living your best life in no time!
